Yes, I think it was instinct for the son to go in and I'm sure he thought it wasn't that bad. After the son couldn't get back, I can definitely see why the parents went in to save him (the son, not the dog).

This.

A story in NC about a man's dog who was hit by a car, then he ran out to try and help his dog and got hit and killed by a car. The dog died too. Too sad.

If the boy had gotten pulled into the water 1st, the dog probably would have gone in to try to save him. Naturally a father is going to try to save his son. I don't understand why the mother went into the water at all though. Such a sad situation.

At least the little girl and the dog have each other. Bless their hearts. I'm sure the internet will provide well for them financially.

I had pets I would've risked my life to save. But I have a child now, so, ya know, priorities and.....all that good shyt.

I hate these ethical dilemmas! In that case, no but part of me would have died with my dog. Sometimes during the day at work I wonder if my dog is okay. Like, if I left the dryer going or something and the house caught fire....omg I can't.....

There were some people who needed to evacuate because of Sandy but none of the shelters they found would take pets so they stayed. One man, who was a veteran said his dog was all he had. No family or friends and one of his biggest concerns if he died was who would find and care for his dog. He even mentioned the thought of killing his dog then himself.
